I just love this scene. It makes you realize that what a good friend Ben Affleck is (sorry i forgot his name in the movie!!); He'd rather never see Will ever again and not have a single fun moment with him again, if it meant that he was out there making a good life for himself. That's true brotherhood right there. That's true love. :')
That scene was what made me decide to travel straight across America, from coast to coast. That was back in 99. Guess its time to go. Im not getting any younger....
If you don't take risks, then you can't gain! Simply put, I'd rather be that dude that tried and failed then that dude that never tried. And this makes me :)
Love this movie. Ben and Matt are amazing together, you can tell why they're best friends. This is such an amazing movie. I know it sounds corny, but I love how it shows the power of friendship. Chucky loves Will, but is willing to let him go because he knows that Will is too good for the south side. Honestly, in that sense, it reminds me of the Outsiders. But with WAY better actors and a WAY better screenplay.
The look on Ben's face & body language EVERYTHING makes this Scene So POWERFUL!!! He is so AMAZED & PROUD his friend took his advice knowing he is doing what he should be doing, taking full advantage to make the very best for his life. Yet, as he takes a deep breath holding back tears he wonders, WILL I ever see my BEST FRIEND again?
One of the Very Best Movies of our Time! Not One but Two Geniuses:) "Real Loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself ".
this scene is absolutely incredible......when he finds out hes not there he knows Will listened to his advice and has left.....he stands there for a second at the door and feels heart broken that he wont see his get to see his best friend anymore for hes moving on to greater things that he quite simply could only dream of doing yet at the same time hes so happy for Will that he finally is reaching his full potential and smiles.......such a powerful scene
yes this scene in a way doesnt fit cause of the car i undrestand that but thanks to the oops i saw that generation and looking for gaffes and flaws we harp at it this is how i look at it just let the ending stand for what it is their poetry in it :P
@a1stooge don't mean to be unpatriotic or whatever but everyone and their mom knows that american cars are notoriously unreliable. If you want a reliable car, you buy Toyota or Honda. That's why my family cars are 1987, 1990, and 1996 toyotas. all past 200k miles. can you say the same about your american cars?
@a1stooge those old sixes ran forever but it's the rest of the car i'd be worried about but like any old car and i've owned a few, yah gotta have faith in the old beast and treat it well and with some luck it returns the favor...
Y'know,the 1 inconsistent fact about the last Ben Affleck scene that always hits me when i watch...Matt now has his own car,so why is does he need to go there to pick him up??I know it's a call-back to the scene when they're at work..."if you're still here 20 years from now i'll fuckin' kill ya"...but ,as we know,he has his own car now...
@toobularbells It's probably both a habit and a group thing. It's more fun to carpool with friends to go anywhere than it is to take two cars. You get conversation in the car, for one thing.
@Callypso73 yes,however,Ben throws his arms up in a "dunno-where-he-is" kinda way,& yet the car they've just bought him is gone.I know Ben plays a 'neanderthal' is this one,but hes smarter than that..."aaaaaallegedly" lol
@toobularbells i think the car was for him to get to his new job. He was still in the routine of going out with his boys so i think they still would pick him up....id hate to play a game of i spy with you
@Turk435 yes,however,Ben throws his arms up in a "dunno-where-he-is" kinda way,& yet the car they've just bought him is gone.I know Ben plays a 'neanderthal' is this one,but hes smarter than that..."aaaaaallegedly" lol
@obeseobelisk88 just because there are no airports in south boston he could have taken a bus to a location where there are planes. So why did he still drive cross country?
@obeseobelisk88 oh so I'm a dumbass for thinking about driving to a place where there are airplanes instead of driving the whole way by car. Ya that makes a lot of sence -_-
funny how the wind instrument (tin whistle or whatever it is) in this sounds exactly like the piece of shit song that MISS MISERY lost to. fuck titanic. people choose to nominate those fake dramatized emotions which makes em believe they actually know something about the "real" titatnic which the lame song and film have nothing to do with. rather than choosing this original piece of emotion and genuine art, people would rather have fiction and lies, i guess people relate more to that than TRUTH.
anyone who can say they don't like Elliott Smith has never had a true emotional connection to music. If you had you'd understand how amazing of a person he was.
snow patrol !!! are you joking!! elliott smith was a far superior songwriter/singer and bloke than the whole of snow patrol put together...fucking irish twats
